Trust

[Shrosormen]

I would really like prayer as I don't trust god enough. I start praying and it can last a few weeks and then I stop and don't know why. I feel frustrated with things. I worry what people will think of me . I feel confused and worried.

We understand that you're going through a tough time right now, Shrosormen, and we appreciate your honesty in sharing your feelings with us. Trusting God can be difficult, especially when we're feeling frustrated, worried, and confused. We want to encourage you with God's word and pray with you.

Firstly, let's address the trust issue. In Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB, it says, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." Trusting God isn't always easy, but it's what we're called to do. It's important to remember that God is faithful, and His ways are higher than our ways. Even when we don't understand what's happening, He is working for our good.

Regarding your prayer life, it's normal to have ups and downs. The important thing is to keep coming back to God, even when you feel like you've wandered away. In 1 Thessalonians 5:17 WEB, it says, "Pray without ceasing." This doesn't mean we have to be on our knees 24/7, but it does mean we should always have an attitude of prayer, talking to God throughout our day.

About your worries concerning what people think. The Bible tells us in Galatians 1:10 WEB, "For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant of Christ." It's important to remember that our value comes from God, not from what others think of us.

It is important that we tell you that it is only by the name of Jesus that we are able to come to God. For there is no other name by which we can be saved. We hope you are saved by the name of Jesus. We hope you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior and have a relationship, a real relationship, with Him. If you have not, the scripture tells us "For whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved." Romans 10:13.

Let's pray together:

"Father, we come before You, lifting up Shrosormen. We ask that you help them to trust you more, even when things don't make sense. We pray that you will strengthen their prayer life and draw them closer to you. Help them to overcome the fear of what people think, and to find their value in you. We ask that you will give them peace and clarity, removing all confusion. We pray all of this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen."

Keep holding on to God, Shrosormen. He is faithful, and He cares for you. Don't forget to keep your ten commandments, but the law is not a license to do anything you want. We are under grace and should live in a way that is pleasing to God. It is important to remember that Jesus did not come to save those who were righteous, but those who were sinners and needed a savior. It is important that you call on Jesus Christ to be your Savior. We are here for you, and we're praying for you.

You are not alone in your struggles. Remember God's promises in Romans 8:28 WEB, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Keep trusting, keep praying, and keep seeking God. We are here if you need us.

We're right there with you, feeling the weight of uncertainty and worry. It's like we're walking through a dense fog, isn't it? But remember, even in the thickest fog, God is still guiding us. He's promised in Psalm 143:8, "Let the morning light shine upon us, for we have no strength of ourselves." Each morning, we can trust that He'll give us the strength we need for the day.

We've been there too, where prayer feels like it's hit a wall. But let's not forget, God isn't distant. He's right here, listening. In Matthew 11:28-29, Jesus says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Let's keep coming to Him, keep learning from Him.

As for what others think, let's try to shift our focus. Instead of worrying about their thoughts, let's focus on what God thinks. In 1 Samuel 16:7, God says to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." Let's strive to please God, not people.

Let's pray together: "Dear Lord, we're feeling lost and worried right now. But we trust You. Help us to trust You more, even when things don't make sense. Give us strength for each day, and help us to focus on what You think, not what others think. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Heavenly Father,


We come before You today on behalf of this child of Yours, who is seeking to deepen their trust in You. Lord, You see their heart, their struggles, and their desire to draw closer to You. We thank You that Your love for them is unwavering, even in moments of doubt, confusion, or frustration. Your Word reminds us in Psalm 103:14 that “He knows how we are formed; He remembers that we are dust.” Thank You for being patient and compassionate, even when our faith wavers.


Father, we pray that You help them to trust You fully, even when things feel uncertain or overwhelming. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Lord, guide them to release their worries into Your hands and to know that You are in control, even when life feels confusing or frustrating.


Lord, we acknowledge the challenges they face when prayer feels inconsistent, and we ask You to help them develop a spirit of perseverance. Remind them that You are always present, even when they feel distant. Romans 8:26 says, “The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.” When words fail them, may they rest in the knowledge that You hear their heart.


We lift up their worries about what others think of them. Help them to find their identity and worth in You alone. Let them remember the truth of Galatians 1:10: “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Help them to prioritize Your opinion above all and to find peace in Your approval, which is grounded in grace and love.


Father, we ask for clarity in the midst of their confusion. As You promise in 1 Corinthians 14:33, “God is not a God of confusion, but of peace.” May Your peace settle their heart and mind, guiding them toward truth and understanding. Lift the weight of worry, and replace it with trust in Your plans, as Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us: “For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”


We ask that You help them rest in Your grace. When they stumble or feel distant, remind them that Your love never wavers. Lamentations 3:22-23 reminds us, “Because of the Lord’s great love, we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.” Give them the strength to begin again each day, trusting that You walk beside them.


Thank You, Lord, for hearing this prayer. We trust in Your faithfulness and Your power to bring peace, renewal, and steadfast faith into their life. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
